I haven't read through the replies to see if anyone suggested to you and your first commenter that what you likely have is not simply a yeast infection, but bacterial vaginosis. BV is the *most common* type of vaginal infection, more common even than yeast, which is very, very common.
Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the balance of good to bad bacteria in the vagina is thrown off, which occurs because the vagina's ph levels are disrupted. The vagina is naturally acidic, but if it becomes too acidic or too alkaline, bad bacteria can begin to outnumber the good.
One of the major symptoms of BV is the very watery, excessive discharge you described. It can sometimes have a fishy odor. There is some itching and often discomfort which is exacerbated by further sexual activity.
BV is not spread to you by a male partner, nor to him by you, and it can correct itself over time, although you should not have sex while you are still experiencing symptoms. Eat well. Take Lactibacillus acidophilus. Rest. De-stress. Listen to your body.
You could see your doctor to be tested for BV and receive an antibiotic, but too many antibiotics in meat and dairy, as well as the over-prescription of them to children and adults is one of the reasons suggested by the research that we've found ourselves with superbugs we cannot seem to cure ourselves from.
Chronic bacterial vaginosis is suffered by many women. Learning to listen to your body, to feed it well, to exercise it regularly, and to give it the care it needs (you need) is important. If you have a history of not listening to your own needs above others, and especially if you have a history of sexual abuse, pay attention. The body holds its wounds on the inside and sometimes they manifest repeatedly in order to let you know they are still waiting to be healed.

Hi LauKoc,
I'm thinking you'll want to repost this as a new topic so that you'll get a lot more feedback to it specifically. I just noticed it myself and I see it's four days later.
To address your issue: If you feel you have a tear or any abrasion/s, then this would explain why urination would feel painful or uncomfortable. Abstaining from sexual activity for a couple of weeks to allow time to heal is a good idea. If you believe you have injured yourself more substantially, or that you do have an infection (urinary or otherwise), perhaps you can get into to see someone at your local health department, or a free clinic in your area. Look online or check around and see. Perhaps there's also a women's health center nearby which takes patients on a sliding scale.
To help prevent tearing or abrading in the future, make sure that you're fully ready before penetrative sex begins and as long as friction is continuing—by which I mean, make sure you're lubricated enough. Your cervical cells provide most of the lubrication to your vagina during sex, and the amount that you will or can become lubricated changes throughout the month. Don't be shy about adding a gentle lubricant to the mix if necessary, but know that the vagina generally doesn't like oils (these can throw vaginal pH off balance and set you up for yeast or other types of infection), so do some research before you purchase.
Hope this helped.

As doctor, i would recommend you need to give a break for a while till sensitive areas get healed, should wear a free size panty along with a pad to gain comfort and to get shrugged skin healed. you should also ask your boyfriend to be gentle while intercourse and later. If vaginal area turns to be black or blood red , should visit any gyno, get checkup, use pills as suggested to gain masculine inner strength for ripped skin. would suggest not to use any toys as they are worst.

all girls experience this kind of torn vagina in the early stages of their sex life,
so don't worry
just tell your boyfriends to give you time until you get a little wet before he penetrates.
it is up to you to get focused and produce some juices as soon as possible.

All of these symptoms you've listed are exactly what I'm experiencing. Could you please tell me if it's possible to cure this naturally?

Alot of what im reading is sounding painful... the tears and raw skin around the vagina happens often to women in general... most of the time its due to the oh balance being off or yeast iinfections. If you have discharge thats white and creamy and your skin feels raw most likely yiu have a yeast infection... to treat that you can get fluconazole (antibiotic) which is over the counter in canada and made for that specific reason. And foir the raw and sometimes itchy feeling use canesten cream on the outter parts of the vagina. You will most like get this infection if youve hadbother antibiotics. .. its super normal... and for girls who are just raw around the vagina you can also use canesten it helps keep the area moist which will help the healing process...
Hope my 2 bits help
